Influence of air conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems on indoor microbial aerosols [PDF]
It is by now well established that most humans spend 70%–90% of their time in the mechanically ventilated buildings, in which the air conditioning and ventilation (ACMV) systems are commonly employed to provide fresh and clean air for indoor occupants.

Expression of TGMV antisense RNA in transgenic tobacco inhibits replication of BCTV but not ACMV geminiviruses [PDF]
Transgenic tobacco plants expressing an antisense RNA targeted against tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) show reduced/no symptoms and viral DNA accumulation upon TGMV infection [5]. The targeted region includes the AL1 gene, encoding an essential viral replication protein.

ACMV Energy Analysis for Academic Building: A Case Study
Building energy audit examines the ways actual energy consumption is currently used in the facility, in the case of a completed and occupied building and identifies some alternatives to reduce current energy usage. Implementation of energy audit are practically used to analyze energy consumption pattern, monitoring on how the energy used varies with ...

This paper proposes a novel methodology to predict thermal comfort states of occupants with k-means approach. The approach is embedded into an optimization problem, which is used to locate optimal operating conditions via Augmented Firefly Algorithm (AFA), for improving energy efficiency of buildings and maintaining satisfactory indoor thermal comfort ...

Occurrence, human exposure and dynamics of phthalates in ACMV indoor environments : method development and field studies [PDF]
Phthalates are a group of common indoor semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) that can concurrently exist in gas-phase, airborne particle-phase and settled dust phases, due to their special physicochemical properties. Human exposure to phthalates in indoor environments has raised public concerns owing to the identified associations between phthalates

East African cassava mosaic virus‐Uganda (EACMV‐UG) and African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) reported for the first time in Central African Republic and Chad [PDF]
Cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) is a major staple food crop cultivated throughout Africa. It is affected most severely by cassava mosaic disease (CMD) at high incidence wherever it is grown on the continent. The disease may be caused by seven…

Jatropha curcas, a plant with great biodiesel potential is also used to reduce the population of whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci on cassava fields when planted as a hedge. We therefore, investigated the transmission of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) by the whitefly vector from cassava to seedlings of 10 accessions of J.
